Oh! You Pretty Things

Wake up you sleepy headPut on some clothes, shake up your bedPut another log on the fire for meI've made some breakfast and coffeeLook out my window and what do I seeA crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to meAll the nightmares came todayAnd it looks as though they're here to stayWhat are we coming toNo room for me, no fun for youI think about a world to comeWhere the books were found by the Golden OnesWritten in pain, written in aweBy a puzzled man who questionedWhat we were here forAll the strangers came todayAnd it looks as though they're here to stayOh you Pretty ThingsDon't you know you're driving yourMamas and Papas insaneOh you Pretty ThingsDon't you know you're driving yourMamas and Papas insaneLet me make it plainYou gotta make way for the Homo SuperiorLook out at your childrenSee their faces in golden raysDon't kid yourself they belong to youThey're the start of the coming raceThe earth is a bitchWe've finished our newsHomo Sapiens have outgrown their useAll the strangers came todayAnd it looks as though they're here to stayOh you Pretty ThingsDon't you know you're driving yourMamas and Papas insaneOh you Pretty ThingsDon't you know you're driving yourMamas and Papas insaneLet me make it plainYou gotta make way for the Homo Superior
